Assist with Dale A. Simmons Jr.'s Funeral Costs

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Edyta, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart during this incredibly difficult time. My brother-in-law, Dale, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Sunday evening while taking a short walk with family. This tragic loss has left my sister, Kat, and their daughter, Athena, utterly devastated and grief-stricken.


Dale was not just a devoted husband and father; he was a proud veteran who served his country. His time with us was extended through a kidney and pancreas transplant, but tragically, it was cut short due to the failure of the VA and medical staff to prioritize a recently discovered heart condition that could have been treated. This situation could have been avoided, and it is heartbreaking to think of about the possibilities lost. As we make arrangements to honor Dale’s life, we are also faced with the reality of funeral expenses. Unfortunately, Dale’s life insurance was denied after his kidney-pancreas transplant, adding an unnecessary financial burden during this time of mourning.


We are asking for your help to alleviate some of these stressors that feel so overwhelming right now. If you are able to contribute financially, it would mean the world to Kat and Athena. If you are unable to donate, sharing this message would also be incredibly helpful. Every little bit counts, and your support will make a significant difference as we navigate this painful journey together. His service will be announced soon. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and for any support you can provide.
